Hi all,
I'm actually using the visualcounter module for a presentation and I can't
modify the style of the page number inside the countdown counter. The
documentation let me think the 'style' parameter should do the job but it
doesn't seem to work.
Do I miss something or is this a bug?
%% Minimal working exemple %%%%%%%%%%
\usemodule[visualcounter]
\definevisualcounter
[test]
[countdown]
[counter=userpage]
\setupvisualcounter
[test]
[style=\tfd] % This is not taken into account
\setupfootertexts[][\usevisualcounter{test}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par \input knuth \page}
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Thanks in advance.

This is a bug. Thanks for the report. I have fixed it on the github dev
branch, and will upload a new version soon.
In case anyone is interested, this is what was happening:
Context parses the parameter of `\useMPgraphic` to
determine the MP instance. The code was using
\useMPgraphic{\visualcounterparameter\c!mp}
`\useMPgraphic` does not expand its arguments, so the proper MP instance
was not initialized. Changed the above line to
\expanded{\useMPgraphic{\visualcounterparameter\c!mp}}
and now style and color parameters work.

even if it would expand, then we still can have an issue when the
definer uses a macro as that one doesn't get expanded either, like:
\starttext
\def\xxx{x}
\startuseMPgraphic {\xxx 1} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\startuniqueMPgraphic{\xxx 1} draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\def\xxx{xx}
\useMPgraphic{x1}
\uniqueMPgraphic{x1}
\stoptext
this is seldom an issue, but for convenience I patched the definers and
resolvers so that the first argument gets expanded (next upload)
